While the farmerbarbecued the steak (our reward for a busy and productive Saturday)I set to work to make thesetasty treats!It was easier than I expected!

I simply dredged the slices inseasoned flour, then dipped them into a whisked egg and finally coated them in Panko bread crumbs.It only took a minute or two on each side to fry them in vegetable oil - so yummy!

Now, back to my soggy garden ....I actually got stuck almost lost my flip flops while taking the pictures of the green tomatoes!

Thank goodness for the rain barrel to wash my feet ...

Have you ever had or made Fried Green Tomatoes?They really are worth the effort .....

Till next time .......... happy Civic Holiday Weekend to my Canadian friends and families.

Could you please send us a little of that rain? We are experiencing the driest summer since 2003. The ground underfoot seems to crackle in the heat. I will have to go on over to Miss Toody Goo Shoes to have a look at that recipe - it looks scrumptious!Your toes - how pretty! I've been wondering about trying a shade of blue!

Aw, Rosella, thank you for the link to my blog! The fried green tomatoes look just like the ones we had in SC! I'm hoping that by now you received my little gift, which hopefully inspired your recipe! Please let me know, I have a Customs number for the package I sent, but not sure if that will help me to track it. Hope your rain lets up, and I love your toe polish color!

Oh my that is quite a lot of rain. Look at that fabulous garden of yours. I'm so impressed. Those fried green tomatoes look real good. I did enjoy some when Katie and I traveled to Andrew's graduation into the Marine corp in South Carolina.

Don't be too impressed with that "sparse this year" garden - lol! Once I weeded, it really looked sparse - the tomatoes, however, are plentiful this year - just hope they ripen before they mold or rot.

Rosella, those fried green tomatoes look so delicious. I have lots of green tomatoes in our garden and I think I'll have to pick a few and take them camping this week and try them in the campsite. Your garden looks wonderful... even wet.

Hope you're enjoying your holiday! Your fried green tomatoes look awesome...I had my first ones only a couple years ago...so tasty! And though we haven't had as much rain as you, our yard is still very green! Not so typical for August :)

Oh my goodness - we need your rain! We've had cloud cover and rain forecasts but not a shower in our area. The grass is turning brown and we're watering everything. I have 2 good tomato plants so I'll think I'll leave them to turn red - but if they look as if they're not going to ripen, I'll certainly try this recipe.It looks tasty. My dh's grandmother used green tomatoes to make a relish called picklelilly - very tasty too! Hope you get some sunshine soon.

Oh my goodness...you have had a lot of rain. Wish we could share some of our beautiful summer weather with you! We tried fried green tomatoes in Branson, Missouri last fall...first time ever for me. Tasty indeed.

Oh boy do I ever love FGT!I use the same sort of recipe that you use. But sometimes I make them using a New Jersey Fried style that my childhood friend's mom taught me half a century ago (my how time flies!) She dipped the slices in milk and then dredged them in flour seasoned simply with salt and pepper. The slices were then fried in butter until golden. At the end a half cup or so of milk was poured into the pan and a milk gravy formed from the butter tomato juices and flour in the pan. I was astonished to learn years later that hers was not the classic recipe for FGT!My other method is to bread them as you have done and then deep fat fry them. It is a faster way to make a lot of FGT especially on a hot day when standing over a fry pan is just too much. By the way...I posted a foodie post with a give away if you are interested. :)

About Me

I live with my husband of 40 some years on a 100 acre farm near Stratford, Ontario in Canada. We have been blessed with a beautiful daughter who just moved back from Alberta with her beloved husband and our most beautiful little granddaughter. They live a short 10 minutes away and we get to see them often now - it's amazing! I feel so blessed to have many dear friends, a loving family, a caring church family, and a cozy country home. I have so very much to be thankful for and hope I never take for granted all the riches in my life!
